An Explication of Lenrie Peters’ Poem “Homecoming”
[ send me this paper ]
This is 4 page paper meant as an explication of Lenrie Peters’ poem “Homecoming”. Gambian poet and novelist Lenrie Peters was born in 1932 in Bathurst, the capital of Gambia during the time when Gambia was still a British colony. The background of Peters and that of his country is important when analyzing his poem “Homecoming” as readers can better understand the climate in which he left Gambia to become educated and that to which he returned many years later. The poem “Homecoming” is among his collection which shows the corruptive greed of the tribal leaders while at the same time is balanced by “nostalgia for a pastoral past with cautious assertion of hope for a future built on that past”. Peters’ “Homecoming” writes of the sadness and strange shadows and skeletons which awaited him when he returned to Gambia to which he had “longed for returning”. The poem can be analyzed through several meanings including literal, connoted, figurative, imagery, allusions and tone among others.

Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart": Tragic Hero
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. As the protagonist of Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart," Okonkwo ultimately ends up as the tragic hero as a direct result of his inability to alter the course of his life. Defining this particular concept calls for one's close interpretation of what the protagonist's role truly represents; with that, it becomes quite simple to understand how the lead character can so easily slip into the tragic state he eventually inhabits. Through his difficult and sometimes life-changing experiences, Okonkwo comes to recognize what it is his own self-knowledge has gained through his struggles. No additional sources cited.
